Not Happy At All....

So I went to my 6th month checkup. They weighed me, I weighted 155. I believe the day of the surgery I weight about 153. The chart said 145, which I know is wrong. They took my pictures and had the doctor look at them. You really have to look hard to see the small shadow area that has formed over the top ab area. Nothing noticeable to me unless you're studying them looking for differences. The only real difference I see is from the side on my lower abs. It still looks aweful and her telling me it is just loose skin and that I should do the Venus freeze. She says it looks great and theres a huge improvement.
What I see is no improvement, its embarrassing. I look mutilated. Not only do I have a the issue where my upper stomach looks like someone wearing pants too tight, but its not even. One flank at the back is kind of flat, the other side looks like it hasn't been touched. So when I wear a dress, I have a lump on my right side, but it is kind of smooth on the left. Now I have a strange kind of paranoia about clothes. Looking straight down at my stomach, one side is flatter than the other. In my waist I have a bulge at the upper area where she did the flanks. She says that no one is symmetrical so that doesn't matter. They went on to say I'm unhappy with the results because I've gained weight and my hormones are out of balance. I didn't pay the extra $1000 for the venus freeze and everyone should do that. I have too much loose skin to start with and I actually need a tummy tuck. If she does anything to it, it will only get worse....yet this is an improvement. All of this is said after I have paid her all the money, now I should have had a tummy tuck. They actually got pretty defensive with me and basically telling me it was my fault this didn't turn out to my satisfaction. At this point I became furious. I told her I had only gained a few pounds since the surgery and that the wait there was wrong. I don't remember being weighed before the surgery and I told her that. She said "You were drugged, you couldn't remember anything." I wanted to tell I sure remember yall arguing the whole time I was in there. That's why I had to take a second dose of meds because they had little affect. She said that they had to weigh me to give me the right dose of pain meds....maybe that's why I had pain in so many places.
But regardless, its done. I wish I hadn't waisted my time and certainly my money. I would advise people to not go there, not if you actually want to see the results of you money. If it doesn't go well, they will just say its your skin and you were warned that we can't do anything about how your skin reacts.

Well...

Most of the numbness has gone and the firmness and lumps are gone as well. But, I'm not exactly happy...I'll let yall judge.

3 weeks

Nothing has really changed. The bumps still hurt and the indentions are getting deeper. Skin is still numb, I feel a few pin sticks every once in a while and I get excited because I think its waking up. But no, nothing yet. My flanks still hurt very much and a firm roll like the one on my lower abs has formed over my right flank. Maybe its the healing process. I'll add a new pics. I think my upper abs have changed from the way they were originally. I still swell a lot by the end of the day. It may just be in my head, wanting this to have worked well, I think I can tell a difference from before the surgery. I just don't know if they are good differences. Its still early, we shall see :)
I will be talking to a doctor today about Cryolipolysis on my back bra fat (the area I originally wanted done). I will be both happy and disappointed if my results from that are better than the smart lipo. I will likely do a separate review for it.
